Weight Loss Journey – Day 19

Today was another one of those days where eating just wasn’t a priority… but I still made myself eat at least something.  Last week, I broke the 170 weight with not weighing that one day… that hasn’t happened in over 3 years.   Weigh In:  167.1 This time last week:  168.6 Activity:  3 sets of hammer…

Weight Loss Journey – Day 18

Sloppy Joes – a ‘meatless’ and meat version!

We love having sloppy joes for dinner and I grew up with my parents always using the mix out of a can.  When I moved out, I learned of a homemade version and that’s what I use now.  The original recipe I’ll share at the bottom, since I did modify that one to fit the…

Weight Loss Journey – Day 15

Each day I wake up and hope that the scale continues to go down.  When it does, I am ecstatic.  When it goes up, I remind myself that muscle is building and the day is a new day.  Today, I am at a weight I have not been at in over a year – it…

Egg & Vegetable Casserole

With trying to eat healthier breakfasts, I decided to make an egg and vegetable casserole.  This recipe inspiration came from a couple different recipes.  Grab any other vegetables that you’d like!  I would have added mushrooms if we had some at the house. You’ll need a 2 quart baking dish for this. Time to cook…

Weight Loss Journey – Day 14

I was asked today, ‘Don’t you miss eating what you want?’.  My answer was no.  I still get to eat what I want – I just modify the types of food or ingredients I use.  I absolutely love pizza – I could eat it every day!  Whole wheat pita bread, cauliflower crust, spaghetti squash crust…

Weight Loss Journey – Day 13

I took measurements back at the beginning of April and figured I’d take measurements again.  So far, I have lost over 10 inches total!  Total inches on April 8th was 304.4 and total inches today was 294.25.  I’ll take them again at the end of June to see where I’m at. Weigh In:  168.6 This…

Greek Yogurt Mac & Cheese

I love mac & cheese – however, I am not a fan of all the calories.  I was looking more so for a higher protein style to make, which the original recipe will be at the bottom since I did modify this one a little.  Next time, I’ll most likely boil the full box and…

Weight Loss Journey – Day 12

Today I took the day off work to have an extra long weekend.  I had a couple errands to run first thing in the morning, so I did still get my workout in – however, once I got home, a major sinus migraine hit me, so breakfast was pretty much just coffee this morning. Weigh…
